/Sounds like "gwa" + "roo" + "ra" (as in "rock" without the "ck")/
A bodyguard or personal security escort. In Mexico, this refers to those big, intimidating guys who protect politicians, businessmen, or narcos, always wearing dark sunglasses and a don't mess with me expression. The word has a slightly informal, street level feel to it, unlike the more formal "guardaespaldas."
"El gobernador llegó con tres guaruras que no dejaban pasar a nadie. -> The governor showed up with three bodyguards who wouldn't let anyone through."
"¿Viste al guarura del restaurante? Parecía armario de dos puertas. -> Did you see the bodyguard at the restaurant? He looked like a two-door wardrobe."
